The phone features a bendable 7.8 inch [UNKNOWN] screen that's made out of flexible plastic and has a 1440 pixel resolution. The phone bends in half, as if you're closing a book. You can leave it bent and propped up, or close it all together with an embedded magnet. Whichever way you choose the screen adjusts to the different orientations and viewing options. The Flex Pi runs an OS called water by the way and it's layered on top of Google Android 9.0.
